After a two-day lull in the worst riots to hit Greece in decades, hundreds of anarchists marched through Athens on Tuesday and a gunman opened fire at a bus carrying 19 riot police officers. Two bullets hit the bus but no one was injured in the shooting, near a university campus in Athens. The anarchists chanted ''cops, pigs, murderers'' and waved flags in a largely peaceful protest during the third week of antigovernment protests since a teenager was fatally shot by the police.
